ChickBunz, 41 Wokingham Road, Reading, RG6 1LG

Lansley Commercial are pleased to present this fully fitted takeaway business known as ChickBunz, situated in a prominent position along Wokingham Road, Reading.

The business has undergone a comprehensive and high-quality fit-out, transforming the premises from a former hair salon into a modern takeaway operation. The current owner has invested significantly in obtaining the necessary planning permission and installing key infrastructure, allowing an incoming operator to benefit from a true “ready to trade” opportunity.

Internally, the premises are well configured, providing a customer seating area to the front (approximately 15 covers), with a central kitchen and a dedicated preparation and wash-up area to the rear. The layout has been carefully designed to support efficient day-to-day operations.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a range of commercial-grade equipment including fryers, prep stations, extraction system, and walk-in cold storage facilities, together with a three-phase electrical supply. The business also benefits from an established presence on delivery platforms including Uber Eats and Deliveroo.

The lease offers approximately 13.5 years remaining, providing long-term security for an incoming tenant, with a passing rent of £18,500 per annum.

Overall, this represents an excellent opportunity for an owner-operator or investor to acquire a well-presented, newly established takeaway with substantial upfront costs already incurred, avoiding the time, expense, and uncertainty of a new fit-out.

The property is prominently situated on Wokingham Road, a busy arterial route to the east of Reading town centre. The area benefits from strong passing traffic and a well-established mix of independent retailers, takeaways, and residential housing.

The location provides good access to Reading town centre, the University of Reading, and surrounding residential neighbourhoods, making it well positioned for both walk-in trade and delivery-based business.

Strictly by appointment only through the sole agents, Lansley Commercial.

All enquiries to be made directly with the agent and under no circumstances should staff be approached.

The premises are held on a 15-year lease from September 2024, expiring August 2039, with approximately 13.5 years remaining.

The current passing rent is £18,500 per annum, subject to review in accordance with the lease.

The lease is understood to benefit from security of tenure provisions (subject to contract). Assignment is permitted with landlord’s consent, which is not to be unreasonably withheld.
